One night at Waffle-Inn

Well, me and my buddies were chilling at the coffee shop and decided to go next door to the Waffle-Inn to get some eats and had one of those moments where you think you've stumbled onto something. You write it down on a napkin and research it the second you can. Ok, here's what we came up with while pondering the universe. We started talking about the lighting and the came onto how white light can be seperated and bended by mirrors and prisms. Then space, the final frontier, was brought into discussion as to how it can aslo be bended by gravity. The genius idea we stumbled upon was if space could also be fractured like light and seperated into different components, or even that space as it is now is a smaller component of something fractured. Interesting thought huh? We thought so, what's the verdict from you guys and gals?
